Captain Will Shook has fished the waters of Tampa and St Petersburg ever since his parents moved the family to Tampa when he was six months old. Some of his earliest memories are of being out on the water with his father and older brothers. 30 years later, Captain Will is a fulltime professional fishing guide.
When Will was not fishing as a youngster, he was playing football, and he was a three-year letterman at Brandon High School. His hard work and dedication earned him a scholarship to the University of Central Arkansas, where he was again a three-year letterman in football. Thirteen years of football, four at the collegiate level, have taught Will the great values of hard work, dedication, team work, and respect, and those values come into play every time he is on the water.
He is hard working and is dedicated to making your fishing experience unforgettable.
Being a fishing guide has been Captain Will’s lifelong dream and passion; as he says...
What more could you ask for than for your office to be Tampa Bay! So come join me for a fun, relaxing day of fishing or for a rod bending, drag screaming, FISH ON! Adventure of a lifetime.
